“Walk like an Egyptian”
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Hola chicas,I don’t know about you, but the eyes are MY favorite feature on the face to accentuate. And my eyeliner product of the moment is Guerlain’s Loose Kohl Powder eyeliner. Now, I’m usually an eye pencil kinda girl, but I love that this product smudges so well, making it super easy to create a soft and sultry smokey-eye look. Inspired by ancient Middle Eastern and Egyptian tradition, this product comes in a loose powder form, that’s housed in a vial with a rod (Yes, as in a stick) applicator, allowing for a precise application along the upper lash line and inner part of the lower lash line. Way, way back in the day, women from the Middle East and Egypt used a similar type of product to rim their eyes, and they still do the same today. However, back then they used a form that was made of ACTUAL COALS–I know… VERY scary! Guerlain has taken this concept and made a product that’s much safer, of course. And NO, the Guerlain product is not made with coals!! It’s made with pigments and pearls that you’d find in your usual eye shadow, but made them much richer so that they can work as liner shades. I usually use the Noir (black) shade, but they’ve just launched a Terracotta (bronze) shade, which i CANNOT wait to try. I think this may be my fave spring/summer eye liner shade!*xoxo*
